21. september 2007, 01:59:47 Ämne: please help save the wolves!! When people think of Alaska, they think of its amazing wildlife and natural beauty. But Alaska has a terrible secret: Each year, the state permits private citizens to chase down and kill dozens of wolves using low-flying aircraft and high-powered rifles. Defenders of Wildlife has created a powerful video on the issue that I think you might want to check out online at: Warning: This video contains graphic footage of aerial wolf hunts -- wolves shot down from above, chased to exhaustion and wounded and left to die. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and anti-wolf officials in the state have worked hard to obscure the truth about the aerial gunning program, even going so far as to earmark $400,000 in state funds to "educate" Alaskans about the state's baseless aerial gunning program. Fortunately, there is something you and I can do to help. Watch Defenders of Wildlife's new video and then take action to urge Governor Palin to end aerial hunting of wolves online at: http://www.SaveWolves.org/alaska If you would prefer to take action without watching the video, please visit the website below: 21. september 2007, 02:03:38 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! anastasia: Coming from a place where people are already out there hunting (I don't hunt, but a lot of people here do) and it's only September here, but, at least it's not being done by helicopter - who could ever think that's a way to hunt game (wolves or otherwise) - shame on them  21. september 2007, 02:43:24 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! srnity: my brother in law hunts BUT he hunts for the food,not just to kill.....There is a difference...this wolf areial hunting is just sick  What do they do with the wolves..eat the meat...NOT21. september 2007, 02:47:02 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! anastasia: I don't necessarily agree with hunting per se, but I don't really eat meat either, so.....but how "manly" is it to use a helicopter? I agree, it's not even hunting, who would authorize this as a sport in the first place? 21. september 2007, 02:51:41 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! srnity: I don't really agree with hunting either..I know,I know..there will be posts about hunting is needed to keep the population down..ok,ok,whatever..I still do not agree with it...I think it would be more fair to give the animals guns and let them shoot back,lol. Hunters are not aloud to hunt from cars and trucks..that is called poaching,isn't it?? but yet a helicoter...to shoot WOLVES of all things...good goodness!! 21. september 2007, 02:57:36 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! anastasia: Is this a "state-wide" thing in Alaska or just certain areas condoned by certain government officials? And, what, it's too cold for the poor humans to go it on foot? Their prey has to  21. september 2007, 03:00:34 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! srnity: I really don't know if it is state wide...I don't think it should be allowed at all.....wolves need our protection not for us to hnt and kill them. 21. september 2007, 03:06:11 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! anastasia: I don't get the point in making it illegal to hunt them presently in some states to bring the populations back up and then do this in others (i.e. Alaska)?!?! Maybe if I were a cattle farmer, I'd see it differently tho, but it's hard to believe there's a huge amount of "cattle farming" in Alaska  21. september 2007, 04:07:15 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! srnity: so,you think they SHOULD hunt the wolves??? I am confussed from your last post,lol...sorry,I'm getting tired and I get easily confussed under GOOD circumstances,lol 21. september 2007, 17:22:06 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! anastasia: Even tho I don't eat meat, I understand that for some people hunting serves a purpose. There are people in my own community who hunt for a less expensive way to feed their families, other people that I know hunt for sport, but donate the meat from an animal to food service organizations, and I know that over-population of deer (for example) can devastate a harvest for some farmers. I think if an over-population of wolves is endangering someone's means of making a living, then sadly there may be a need to thin them out, but, as for an "aerial hunt", where is the sport (?) in that? I don't see animals as being equal to humans, but I do think that ALL animals have the right to be treated humanely  21. september 2007, 19:19:05 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! srnity: weren't wolves just on endangered species lists not to long ago?? I just don't see the need in hunting a wolf..here's a thought for us..how about we STOP moving our selfish selves into the animals territory and then bitching about when they become a problem for us.Now THERE'S a thought,lol.We keep taking and taking and taking the land,and then all we do is complain and kill the animals because they are being a nuecesnce (sp) or they are eating our trash,or they are killing our dogs and cats..WHERE are they suppose to go when we keep developing all the land?? 21. september 2007, 19:23:29 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! anastasia: Very, Very Well Said  And 100% true - we could stop taking what little "wild" space there is left  21. september 2007, 19:26:49 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! srnity:  21. september 2007, 20:36:24 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! anastasia: Yes I completely agree with you!! Humans are the most selfish animal on this planet & we think we own it & we dont!!! 21. september 2007, 23:55:42 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! Ewe: I was actually taling to someone about that very thing the other day.Animals are allowed to be who they are and act as they do without being judged to be wrong,it's just them doing what they do.Humans on the other hand are not allowed that same acceptance,we constantly judge our behavior,maybe we just are what we are 22. september 2007, 17:07:45 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! Jim Dandy: Not all humans are equal & certainly dont act the same. Overall we have a strong sense of right & wrong, we are intellegent & have a conscience (some much more developed than others). Therefore I believe that gives us the right to judge our behaviour as we know when others and ourselves are doing wrong etc. We need certain guidelines & boundries or it would be all out anarchy. But if you are talking on a basic level about people just getting on with others, then I totally agree! I love people & try not to be too judgemental. I am very passionate about things I believe in but totally understand others see things differently, and we are all entitled to that. I talk to anyone. Love meeting new people & making new friends. 22. september 2007, 18:26:53 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!!  Jim Dandy: Of all the animals, I think humans are the only ones of whom it can ever rightfully be said that "they ought to have known better than to do what they did". 26. september 2007, 02:53:50 Ämne: Re: please help save the wolves!! wetware: Yes,I guess my point was that animals (other than humans) are free to just be themselves without constantly questioning themslves.They say our youth are the best years of our lives,why? no responsability |
